Lakeside Poly, a Georgia-based metal manufacturer, was facing rising electricity costs at its 93,000 sq. ft. facility. To gain control over long-term expenses and reduce operating costs, they partnered with Artisun Solar, a leading commercial solar developer, to install a 321 kW rooftop solar system. This investment is already paying off, with first-year savings of over $40,000 and a projected lifetime savings of $1.7 million.

For industrial and manufacturing businesses, energy costs are a major challenge, often cutting into profitability. By switching to commercial solar power, Lakeside Poly has secured lower, predictable electricity rates, reducing its dependence on traditional utility costs and freeing up capital for business growth. In addition to financial benefits, the solar system will offset more than 8,500 metric tons of CO₂ emissions, reinforcing the company’s commitment to efficiency and long-term value.
